I don't know how it happened, but usually how the story goes, is I leave, someone clicks on a popup add and I have to fix the mess. Over and over and over and over.

But this time, did something else get picked up. This virus disallows one to search on Google or go many other websites, so you can't put anything in the address bar, you have go work from bookmarks. I've tried EVERYTHING, Spybot, AVG Free, Anti-Spyware, on and off of Safemode, but nothing is working.

I go to the control panel and turn off some processes and it'll work by the grace of God, but then I leave AND SOMEONE GETS THEM RIGHT BACK AGAIN. Does anyone know of any programs or ANYTHING that'll work for sure? I'm stumped.

Also, does anyone have any idea what rundll32 EXE is? Because I have the same exact thing as http://i38.tinypic.com/5xo5kz.jpg here, but like the thing says, I'm not sure if I should disable. I've tried running Spybot like everyoen says, but that doesn't work.

Sorry, I'm not much use in this case, just remember: when all else fails there's always the dreaded reformat.

rundll32 should be ignored.

As for the search disabled, you tried using Hijack This and killing it?

Indeed.
Worked wonders for my bad case of desktop hijack, remember?

Do I have to know what the file is to use Hijack This? Because I have no clue to what's doing it. Spybot gets rid of a bunch and all successfully, but nothing works

You might want to post your HJT log on a reputable site like PC Pitstop then. They'll analyze it (takes a day or two) and then tell you what to kill.
